From the transcript

Every year spent in costly litigation was another year spent not fully focusing on the future of this extraordinary asset. Today's settlement, I really do think, changes that. It brings finality to a dispute that really has lasted, as the Attorney General said, really since 2003, while providing meaningful resources to help rebuild this critical piece of infrastructure. And so we think of it as a win-win-win. Normally you look for a win-win.
